Resource Highlight: MCAA’s Asbestos Awareness for the Mechanical Trades Safety Training Video & Materials

September 19, 2025

Harmful asbestos fibers are microscopic, so you can’t see them if they’re airborne, and asbestos-related illnesses don’t show up until 15 to 40 years after exposure, when it’s probably too late to do anything about them. MCAA’s Asbestos Awareness for the Mechanical Trades Safety Training Video & Materials will teach your workers to protect themselves when working around asbestos. They’re just a few of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.

Your workers will learn:

  • What asbestos is
  • Where asbestos can be found on the jobsite
  • What the health hazards of asbestos exposure are
  • How to identify potential asbestos hazards
  • How to protect themselves from asbestos hazards

The video comes with a pocket guide that highlights key training points, a training documentation sheet, a 20-question multiple choice test, and a test answer key.
